BUT, since then with a few oil changes (nissan oem dino oil), my oil temp hasn't cracked over 230F. On a normal 75-80F day my oil temps don't go past 225F. For normal street driving I think we pay too much attention to the oil temp if the gauge wasn't there we wouldn't even notice anything. I thought oil temps of 180-220F are normal anyway? What I have noticed though it seems like the higher temps are more prevalent in the 6MT and not the 7AT. Not sure why.

Stock 2012 here. Normal freeway cruising in 75*F weather so far I am running 195-200*F. This is at 85mph.
Just a datapoint.
Doing on-ramp acceleration, romping on it in 3rd gear on the freeway, etc. just enjoying a few WOT blasts, I have yet to break 220*F.
